What we can learn from dialect maps

Anywhere in NJ I’ve been it’s called “cabbage night”. Like where I grew up.

There are roundabouts in Norman, OK & the people I know at least call them roundabouts.

Bergen County?

I lived in Monmouth, Middlesex and Hudson Counties - never heard of Cabbage Night (or any of the others mentioned on the Wikipedia page.) I think I learned of “Mischief Night” in my early teens in Monmouth County - before that I lived in Germany mostly on army bases and I don’t remember there ever being anything on the night before Halloween (I do remember Halloween).
